Bounty Discussion

i think you should say about the nexus jack pop as well if at work or in bed you lose the claim get get them i losted out on 3 and if any one knows the bonus its really not worth playing i also see a lot of us players getting better crews perhaps they got a lucky spin of 3 to 5 gm crews i use 10 u on last raid and never got one decent crew perhaps it just a nother us fix may be not but really thinking about scraping my base and leaveing for good

The bounty event is not worth the hassle i decided to try it this time around and all thats been happening is i get flattened literally within seconds of my bubble dropping. i cant beat the bounty targets on the map and there isnt even a way to drop out of this event so now im stuck in this **** hole of an event for another few days and i will get nothing for it. these events are geared way to much towards the higher level players and the coiners. how are the lower level players supposed to catch up or get anything when these events make it impossible to get anything.

G'day all just a issue i want to bring up, well the first day i heard we had 4-5 Jackpot spawns which set a lot of people up to win all the prizes, second day we've had 1 small spawn, now a lot of people missed the first day Jackpot spawns and the spawn times did not benefit people in australia and the UK on the first day , so only resort we have now is to hit bases but hey we have not got the fleets to hit good bases for bounty, so kixeye has a event where u meant to hit bases but we can't, this bounty is a major stuff up and kixeye needs to spawn more jackpot targets to reward player's from all over the world not just the americans and the people who sit on the game for 15 plus hour's each day, if kixeye want's to turn people away from the game they are sure doing a great job. Well rant over i hope this can be passed on to the developers or whoever and fix the jackpot spawn rates for the people who missed out, happy hunting pirates KEEGAN

i brought this up once already in forums yesterday morning and got a decent answer from a mod until it was 15 hours later that they respawned jackpot bases so i sent a ticket in for it and ive been waiting over 16 hours again to get a response from kixeye after they had 3 experts looking at my question for over 4 hours. they are just incompetent to do there job correctly. i would expect random placing to happen at least every hour even if it is 1 jackpot base per sector but wait 16 hours just to see 1 is total bs.

yea i have seen 0 100s today.. they saying it spawn one time when i was at work but they went fast.. kinda funny people that siting in number 1 spot i have never seen hit a base before in sector they got all there points from 100s the first day.. must be nice to be able to sit in game 15 hours a day and get the 100s when they spawn.. but some people have a job and cant do that...

i havent seen a single jackpot hoard in 17 hours and i have to grind on the 86s to get point now since most of the bases that have all the bounty are crazy hard to kill

The issue isn't overpowered anything (although last i heard only Kix can fix the game design) The problem is the penalty for playing is having to coin a lot in order to repair your base and then to protect your bounty. The prizes that you worked for and paid coin for are then introduced in the very next raid and if you are a top end player the raid cost much less (even though the prize cost more). SO why bother to play bounty in the first place. Also it is still the "baby seal clubbing" event and hitting a top end base is rare. (In all the bounty seasons i have been peeked twice and never hit) Lets face it the bounty thing is broke. Fortunately the bounty prizes are, for the most part, only for conqueror or defender hulls so you really don't miss much if you don't play it.

Bounty is what it is. It's something a little bit different and lets you get a reward for doing something you already do anyways, ie base hitting.

Having said that, my two cents on what I'd like to see changed/added.

1. Conqueror and defender hulls are grouped together in so many things. Why aren't Defender hulls allowed in the secondary conqueror repair queue? This would help folks that have multiple base defense fleets to repair one in the half time slot and another in the other slot or be able to switch some things around. Not everyone has a top end base but at least we can get stuff repped faster. So in short, allow defenders in conqueror rep queue.

2. Add some resources into the jackpot and bandit targets. Doesn't have to be much, but it would be nice to grab 100% from a completed target. Repairing 2 fleets costs more rez. I realize rez is pretty easy to obtain, but if you are out of rez for repairs, you are gonna stop hitting bounty targets and hit salvs, salvs are free, bounty targets your gonna get damage, so more likely to coin repairs.

3. The spawn rate for the non jackpot bandits should be constant or at least on a 15 minute basis. Sometimes you hit and they spawn right back. Other times they get hit and are gone for over an hour. I think they should spawn more like a vxp target. You kill them and they are replaced. 1 or 2 86s and 1 97 and 1 98 at each tower. I know this isn't a raid and is supposed to be a pvp event, but hitting bases isn't an option for most which has been argued ad nausium in this thread. More targets equals more participation.

4.There should be more at stake if you lose. You lose nothing if you lose in attacking a base(no bounty) The defender gets a whopping 200, whoo hoo. And why is there a limit on defense bonuses? Other than people being hit by the same person for for a free bonus, I don't see the reasoning. Maybe cap the bonus you can get from a specific person to 5 a day, but not total bonuses.

I was on all day yesterday starting at 8 am.. ( was at work and it was reallly REALLY slow. ) ONE Jackpot spawned, and I went to bed at midnight.

Now if you were talking about the first day, yea there were 4 or 5 spawns that day that I caught some of.. but to say that they all spawn during US peek time is a bit of an understatement.. they flat out arent spawning now.

It is true I am in USA it is now 1:23 pm I normally logged in the game on work PC and again when I get home prety much in the game from 10am to 2am. Day one jack pots spawned every 2 hrs up till about 6PM my time. I was on till 2am there were no more. Day 2 there were 2 spawns one was about 11 am my time other was about 2PM my time. Seen no others since then. I would think the people across the pond have not had a fair shot at them to be honest.

How it is bases are unbreakable right now for anyone that even remotely tries to make a base. All the unbreakable bases stocked up and are done and have the entire pool. I am at 31K (more than I wanted as new hull is junk it may get in level 50's base thats it) Jackpots need to be set up so they spawn = for both sides of the pond. How they spawned day one every 2 hrs roughly the should bave done that all way up till 4am USA time that would have gave them same amount of spawns. I know kix thought USA people will get the big bounty and overseas people would take it KIX just does not know most all the bases are unbreakable so no ones is taking anything.

Bonus targets spawning 4 times the first day then once the next and now nothing at all today is very uncooperative by kix, and can you say "suckers" cause that what we are for doing it. I can't even be angry at this point, it's to be expected that the players are not the main focus here...I guess it's just apathy for BP at this point, not sure I care anymore.

I haven't hit many bases except when I secure, tha puts my unsecured bounty at zero which then opens up a few bases to hit, i spend time running from tower to tower,and the 86/97/98 can all three be smashed in under a minute, so don't tell me it's getting, adjust.Now on a serious note can someone explain this to me, at the close of day one I had received the second chest on tier 5, when day two started i was on 3/5, days 2 i secured tier 5, and when day three started I am on 1/5 seems a bit odd to me

If you stay up to date with the pve side of the game, you have all nessicerry tech to stop all fleets. You don't even need any time spent on guard ships either.

if you have the gear ........ my hunters last raid would die in a 65 even following the supposed route ....................not able to keep up even when i can get the second best hull for the raid cycle ............... i have been told i need the right gear that is beyond the fleets i have to get ..............soo it stands you need the right gear and with medium fleets it not as easy as it is for you

No jackpot hoards spawning

so ever since last night i have not seen 1 jackpot hoard base respawn in over 10-15 hours now. do tell players its random when they arent even spawning anymore this is getting to be ridicoulous that we have to coin repair everything just to get points on bounty then you lie to us about jackpot hoard spawning on world map when they arent. im not the only player that is having this issue ive asked just about every player in my sector and they are none to be seen in sectors 0-100.

You asked this question 1 day ago

Your question has been rerouted to the company.

Oh wait they didn't respond to my ticket i sent in over 24 hours ago. They just disregarded it so they can screw everyone like they normally do.

@Specialist aka Specs said:
all they need to do is cap the Fuel Air Munitions and Fire Support 2 aura's that can be stacked and viola the problem solved

yes I have pushed for that to be fixed as it is the most simplest way to fix the issue that does not lead to even more power creep.

Q

Its a shame that people are disliking your post. I think your idea is by far the best way to fix it. It will allow kixeye to finally balance the conquerors and turrets they release.

It is because they got lazy and found an easy way to defend their bases from everything. I do not fault them for it, but they are not helping the game by crying about not being able to break bases and then fight against the cause of that problem.

That or they are not being honest with themselves or others on why base hitting/defense is broke right now.

If this is ever fixed I think it will lead to a gigantic meltdown on the forums. The alternative is to put out conqueror hulls with explosive deflection in the millions and then they will negate the latest defenders. The cycle needs to be broken and they need to just fix the underlying cause of the problem. That cause is the FAM2/FS2 spam.

Actually to remedy the problem would have been to slow the game way down over 3 years ago but with kixeye's greed they could'nt help them selves so yes the game is totally broken !

why do I see 90% 86's for bounty, few 98 and 97 and no 100's or 89 i think its a disgrace that there are so many 86's that no one hits cos their either waiting for the larger bounty then gobble them up and leave all the garbage to the less forunitue.

I auto 86s for about 7 mins repair with one fleet and hit 97 & 98 with a different fleet.
